UAC Permission for Win 7 Upgrades

by Sep 27, 2012 10:47PM PDT

Since a re-install of Win 7, everytime I boot I get a UAC pop up asking if I want to allow Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to make changes to my system. Even though I select NO it keeps coming up at each boot. Do I really need to have this program installed and/or how do I stop that from coming up each time?

I turned my UAC off. type in UAC and there will be a slider to go down to Never Notify, click OK. Reboot your system. Darrell

That's not recommended.

UAC in Windows 7 is a useful security tool. It's MUCH better for the OP to find the cause of it becoming active now.

You shouldn't advice your own bad solutions to others.

Why not uninstall that program? Or find out why it's running (the Startup tab of MSCONFIG, maybe) and change that?
